Welcome to February Squares. The theme this month is Square Odds hosted by BeckyB.

When you stop for an iced coffee and Australia’s Antarctic Ice Breaker ship “nuyina” appears. This classifies as odd, to me, out of the ordinary, unexpected.

A highlight of November was Hobart’s “Open House” Weekend, when a number of private buildings are open to the public. We chose to visit this roof top terrace.
The building dates back to 1906 and is currently office space and a private apartment. Back in the 1930’s the roof terrace was a café. The entrance hall has a lovely ceiling and wood panelling.
We also visited the Royal Tennis Court, or Real Tennis Club. I have no idea of the rules except that the game is a cross between tennis and squash with the ball in play when it bounces off the walls or the roof of the viewing gallery.
We’ve had some hot sunny days, ideal for beach walks. We’ve had many wet days when we’ve headed out in between showers for local walks. We also had the coldest November day in 70 years with snow on the mountain again.
This is my contribution to Changing Seasons challenge, hosted by Ju-Lyn and Bushboys World.

inThese bird silhouettes should be out in our garden, but while we decide where to put them, they are inside our lounge where we can see them every day.
This is my contribution to HeyJude’s “Life in Colour” for this month’s theme of black.

It’s been a month of all seasons, here in Hobart.
Rainbows, blue skies, white fluffy clouds.
Days when nature turned to monochrome.
Hot sunny beach days.
Lots of rainy days, storms from the south which noticibly eroded our beaches.
Cold days when we woke to views of snow on the mountain.
And stunning sunsets. This photo is straight from my iPhone, no filter, no cropping. This gives the true picture of the view from our deck.
I’m linking this post to a couple of challenges … Becky’s October Squares … Changing Seasons hosted by Ju-Lyn at Touring my Backyard and Brian at Bushboys World.

inKinda … peaceful. Summer is just around the corner after a wet spring season. We’ve had a couple of beautiful warm days. This was the view from our deck this evening.
Another contribution to Becky’s October Squares under the theme of “kinda”… and “bright”.

This is Hobart’s Salamanca Place, seen through a figure 8 on a sculpture trail. On Saturday’s Salamanca Market fills this space. An outdoor market with hundreds of stalls representing local crafts, designer, artisans and produce.
The sculpture 1833 marks the year when these sandstone warehouses were built on Hobart’s “new wharf”.
This is my contribution to Becky’s October Squares under the “circles and squares” theme.

inA delightful beach day today as it was a public holiday here. Blue skies, sunshine, warm weather …..
…..And the essentials for a visit to the beach (Tasmania October 2021). Face masks are mandatory outside of our homes. So yes, people were walking on the beach wearing one. Hopeful this restriction will stop tomorrow (fingers crossed).
I’m linking this post to Becky’s October Squares for the theme “perspectives” and “blue”.

Here in Hobart, we have to wear face masks for the first time.
We’ve been in a snap 3 day lockdown over the weekend. Tasmanian has been covid free since June last year, with no cases in the community.
Recent risk of transmission from a positive case in hotel quarantine resulted in this lockdown. As there have been no new cases, restrictions eased this evening. Except for mask wearing.
The weekend “stay at home” order allowed exercise within 5 km of home. I’m fortunate that this coastal path is just 200 steps from our front door.
Do you wear a face mask when you leave your home?

It’s a grey and rainy weekend in Hobart so I’ve been looking back at my photos. A perfect time to join October Squares hosted by Becky at https://beckybofwinchester.com I haven’t participated in this challenge before so I’ll share some of my favourite square photos.
